which there are only 8 of these error cards known in the hobby.

In the process of erasing the word "Nat'l" on the printing plate of Joe Doyle's caption, American Litho (ALC) was sloppy and did not clear it off
completely. Shortly after, ALC removed this mark and a greater majority of the Joe Doyle cards do not have this mark.

We discussed this back in a thread I posted in 2007.....here's the link to it:
